About Brunswick Park Primary School

Brunswick Park Primary School in Southwark is a state primary for children aged 3 to 11, and it’s a school that clearly has strong local demand. With 430 pupils on roll against a capacity of 446, it’s running very close to full. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 46.8%, which is significantly higher than the national average and reflects the school’s inner-London context. Unsurprisingly, it’s oversubscribed for the 2025/26 intake: there were 131 applications for just 56 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.34. Of those, 43 were first-preference applications, and exactly 43 first-preference offers were made — meaning every family that put it first got a place, but competition from outside that group was fierce. The school is non-religious and mixed, with a nursery attached, so it serves a broad local community. Headteacher Susannah Bellingham leads a school that, on the basis of its intake profile, is clearly a popular choice among Southwark families.
